Quinoa Salad

Written by on in entrees, Lunch, recipes

I love quinoa since it is easy to make like rice but unlike other
grains (it’s actually a seed!), it is a great source of protein and fiber. This gluten free grain also has a low glycemic index which is good for blood sugar control. You can add any veggies you have on hand to this recipe to make a tasty meal.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup pepper
• 1/3 cup corn
• 1/3 cup carrot

• Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Cook quinoa according to package directions.
  2. Add 2 cups of cooked quinoa into a bowl

  4. Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper and combine.
